I am happy that I met this app as early as last April. As the months go by, they are growing bigger and better so these are the reasons Travelbook.ph must be on the top of your mind when you need to book a hotel in your next adventure or staycation here in the Philippines.
1. Convenient Booking
TravelBook.ph focuses on
improving its offline bookings through 24/7 Customer Care that offers
competitive room rates, promo plans, rewards points, membership
promos, and GetGo promos.
TravelBook.ph also has a
user-friendly mobile app that offers double rewards for bookings to
make the service available for the growing number of smartphone users
in the Philippines.
2. Multiple Payment Options
Since only about 5% of
the whole Philippine population are credit card holders,
TravelBook.ph has made sure that it has various online and offline
payment methods to make booking hotels for every customer convenient.
Aside from using their credit cards, customers can pay
via online and offline bank deposits or over-the-counter payments.
They can also pay at 7-Eleven branches, Robinsons Department Store
and SM Department Store branches, Bitcoin, and the newly launched Pay
At Hotel, which allows the customer to pay upon check-in.
3. Corporate Partnerships and Alliances
TravelBook.ph
has also partnered with top brands and companies in the Philippines,
including Cebu Pacific, Robinsons Bank, Sun Cellular, Toys R Us, JG
Summit, Robinsons Land, Robinsons Department Store, and Universal
Robina to strengthen its presence in the business through various
campaigns.
The company also has special partnerships with
GetGo, BDO, Union Bank, Eastwest Bank, and Security Bank.
4. Tours
TravelBook.ph will soon launch its 359
Tour Package Plans to cater to the travel needs of its customers.
5. Affiliate Program
The recently launched

has over 600 partner bloggers. Through this program, both seasoned
and new bloggers are able earn income from the hotel bookings made in
their websites so if you are a blogger and not yet a member, you can join right now.
6. Promotion of Philippine Tourism
More than just being an e-commerce company, TravelBook.ph aims to
Philippine tourism by encouraging everyone to travel more in the
country. The company believes that traveling should become a
lifestyle as it promotes education, quality time, and bonding with
families and friends.
TravelBook.ph also comes up with various creative campaigns to
promote local tourism such as the recently concluded #Juanderlust, an
international competition where travelers all over the world
participated to be the lucky “Chosen Juan” who will embark on an
80-day adventure to 80 places in the Philippines. The winner, Mr.
Dave Agbayani, traveled around the country to explore and experience
the best things that the country has to offer.
In 2012, TravelBook.ph, under the
management of Summit Media, started as an online catalog catering to
more than 4,000 hotels and resorts in the Philippines. The company
was established by Recruit Holdings Company, one of the biggest media
conglomerates in Japan, and specializes in classified advertisements,
publications, and human resources.
To date, TravelBook.ph is the fastest growing Online Travel Agency
(OTA) in the Philippines and boasts more than 2,700 hotel listings
all over the country. Over the past three years, the company has
achieved a record-breaking 200% growth rate and an average of 3,900
paid bookings per month.
With various offline and online
marketing efforts, TravelBook.ph has gained exposure through media
partners such as TV stations GMA NewsTV through programs like PopTalk
and Biyahe ni Drew, CinemaOne, and radio stations Love Radio, Monster
Radio, and Barangay LS.
